Andreessen Horowitz puts $35 million into two‑year college alternative
The venture firm is backing an unaccredited programme for school leavers and college dropouts who want to build AI products, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Andreessen Horowitz is investing $35 million in an unaccredited two-year alternative to traditional college, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. The firm's message to prospective students, as the newspaper put it, is not to drop out and start a company but to come and do school with it instead.
The accounts StockMKTNewz and PolymarketMoney both described the programme as free and aimed at recent school leavers and college dropouts. StockMKTNewz said it would identify and train young people building AI products. Neither post cites a source, and the Journal did not report a tuition figure.
StockMKTNewz also gave the programme a name, calling it the Horowitz Andreessen Academy. No other account in this material uses that name, and no one at the firm is quoted on it, so the title may be garbled or provisional.
The $35 million figure and the two-year length come from the Journal, which describes the programme as unaccredited. What it teaches, how many places it holds and when it opens do not appear in any of the three accounts.
